Varietal

Shiraz

Is it Syrah or is it Shiraz? Well, actually, it’s both. Syrah and Shiraz are the exact same wine. In France, its country of origin, the wine is known as Syrah; however, when the wine arrived in Australia, the winemakers there began calling it Shiraz. Same wine. Two different names.

Whatever you call it, it’s one of the deepest, darkest, reddest wines around. So dark, in fact, that you sometimes can’t see through it when holding it up to the light in a glass. Full bodied and loaded with mouth-drying tannins, typical Syrah features flavors of berry, pepper and tobacco, making it particularly good when paired with meat.

Region

South Australia

The state of South Australia produces half of all Australian wines with the relative quality varying by producer. South Australia is known for its signature grape, Shiraz (known as Syrah in Europe / US), with the highest quality subregions being Barossa Valley, Eden Valley, Clare Valley, and McLaren Vale. Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache are also produced in significant quantities as well. The region makes its own version of the traditional Rhone "GSM" blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre (known locally as Mataro), which is packed with berries, intense fruit and chocolate. South Australia is not known for the quality of its white wines, with exception of Riesling from the Clare Valley. Chardonnay is the most common white varietal produced, with the best examples coming from the cooler Adelaide Hills, but lesser amounts of Viognier, Semillon, Roussanne and Verdelho also being planted.

Additional Notes

Why We Love It:

Like most Australian wines, it’s a screw cap and we love a good screw cap—very convenient for al fresco dining, with the added luxury of being able to bring extra home (if there’s any left) to savor again the next day. A nice, smooth red with a delicious mocha and chocolate flavor that’s hard to resist. Really hard. In a word: wow!
